Fairy Tale Writer (@God Doesn't Want to Go Down to Earth-Great God Certification (1/2))
This guy is totally clueless.
The two Steam Knights following behind the carriage stepped forward to inspect it, then said to the nobleman:
"Sir, our destination is still twelve kilometers away, and it's not convenient to stop the carriage here."
"Okay, let's go then."
The nobleman had the coachman adjust the carriage's direction, preparing to leave.
"Wait! My books were selling perfectly well. You just came up here out of nowhere and smashed my stall. Shouldn't you give me some compensation?"
Ansen called out to the nobleman who was about to leave.
The nobleman turned around and smiled:
"What are you saying? Didn't you block my parking space by running your business on the street? Remember to pay the fine at the Church."
After he finished speaking, the carriage started moving, and the nobleman lowered the curtains.
"Alright, pack your things yourself, I'm leaving!"
The nobleman came and went rudely, the clatter of his hooves fading into the distance, followed by the footsteps of the Steam Mech. Ansen stood there, pen in hand, books scattered at his feet, watching the shadow of the carriage lengthen in the setting sun, feeling somewhat dazed.
I thought there was going to be a fierce battle, but it turned out to be just a lunatic.
I was just passing by and spat in a purely malicious way; I meant no other.
Without much hesitation, Ansen tidied up his stall and began visiting people throughout the town. Relying on the strength he gained from his reconstruction, he searched for information about the person and finally found the registration information.
[Leonhart Luosu, Special Advisor to the Empire Academy of Sciences, passing by]
"[Leonhart Luosu], a high-ranking noble from the heart of the Empire, whose status... has recently undergone significant changes, and he has also joined the Empire Academy of Sciences."
Ansen was slightly speechless. Although this guy's background and disguise were very good, and he spoke the local language flawlessly, he could still tell at a glance that Ding Zhen was Survivor.
The reason is simple: no matter what identity the Survivor is affiliated with or disguised as, if this person has been extremely active in the past three days, then they are either Survivor or Survivor's puppet, which is extremely easy to detect.
For the same reason, Survivors from small towns can easily spot the disguises of many Survivors from other places, and they have tacitly formed an invisible competitive rule to compete for [World Influence].
Unless one frequently changes their identity, it's extremely easy to be discovered and exposed as to reveal the unchanging and hidden forces behind them. The least likely to be caught are Survivors like Ansen who travel slowly and discreetly.
Ansen gathered all the information and then promptly fled.
He wouldn't be afraid of a normal Survivor, but this guy's purpose is unclear, he's like a madman, which makes him the most difficult to predict and guard against.
Arriving at an industrial town near Norn Town, I found a small inn and decided to finish my Fairy Tale first.
The hotel was on the third floor, with windows facing the street. The hissing of Steam pipes on the street never stopped, day and night. Ansen arranged his ink bottle, pen, and manuscript paper on the table, lit his gas lamp, and sat down.
Ansen's Talent is complex and its description is rather disorganized. In the early stages of his survival journey, it took him several days to learn how to use it.
He can write a "Fairy Tale" himself, in which the Protagonist and supporting characters can be any known individuals, the story must contain a complete beginning, development, climax, and resolution, and the ending must be clear.
Once the story is complete, the cause and effect in the real world will be overwritten, making the ending in the story inevitable, while the process will be filled and influenced by "Fairy Tale Logic".
Of course, there is a price to pay. Whether it is laying the foundation for the ending or rewriting the Fairy Tale in reality, he needs to pay a price, and this price is to some extent beyond his control, making it very mysterious and unpredictable.
Of course, after using it for so long, Ansen has become very skilled at making the benefits of the ending outweigh the costs of the Fairy Tale itself, and he can also forcibly end the Fairy Tale through to cut his losses in time.
If the Fairy Tale has a high reach, it will slightly offset a small portion of the cost he suffers. This is somewhat related to the [World Influence] of this Large Dungeon, which is why Ansen found this Large Dungeon so enjoyable.
"Let me think... how should I write this? It seems I won't be able to finish the Fairy Tale today. I'll just finish this one first."
Under the dim light of a cheap gas lamp, Ansen slowly began to write, crossing out a portion of the Text he had written in Norn Town and starting to continue writing a new Fairy Tale.
This is the third book. Based on his development of his Talents, the Fairy Tales he writes now are all part of a series.
By using the endings and worldviews of the preceding Fairy Tales, the subsequent Fairy Tales can be written, with one ending after another contributing to the final Perfect conclusion. This reduces the instability and costs associated with directly writing a large-scale Fairy Tale.
In the first Fairy Tale, he transformed his birthplace into a safe place and bought himself time to develop.
He wrote: In a small town in the wilderness, a traveler named Ansen led a mule carrying a fine iron box into the town. He opened the iron box, inside which was an ingenious Steam mill that could produce grains ahead of its time. He also took out a bottle of magical potion that could make Physique and healthy... In the end, everyone in the town treated each other with respect and Harmonious Coexistence.
In the second Fairy Tale, he ruled over the nobles and high-ranking officials of several cities he passed through, and used this carriage to overturn several Survivors:
Ansen traveled along the imperial railway for two days and two nights, arriving at three gloomy cities. The nobles in each city were sickly, having lost their conscience and sincerity, their souls invaded by demons. Ansen gave each of them a golden pocket watch. When the nobles opened the watch, an owl suddenly opened its eyes and sang a song only they could hear—a song that revealed their deepest desires. Thus, they willingly opened the city gates for Ansen, handing over the keys. From then on, all decisions in the three cities passed through Ansen's backside before reaching the nobles' mouths.
But the three cities are not only plagued by nobles disrupting the harmony, but also by monsters from beyond the world. The traveler Ansen begins to fight them... In the end, he overturns some Survivors and takes control of the cities.
The third Fairy Tale, as Ansen poured his heart and soul into writing, continues to unfold...
Long, long ago, in the Imperial Academy of Sciences, there lived a Scholar named Luosu. He was exceptionally intelligent, yet incredibly arrogant, claiming that he could illuminate the world without Holy Light. He invented many machines that made the poor work and exhausted engineers, while he himself sat in the highest chair receiving praise.
Ansen strives to make the Holy Light embrace everyone, for he is the Saint Son being tested by the Church. But he discovers that the Scholar is weaving lies in black and white, calling true goodness foolish and selflessness a conspiracy.
Therefore, Ansen called on people of insight from all over the world to expose him.
